swimming costume for a long body?

I need to get a new swim suit for school ( I work in SN and swim with my pupils) but I am quite tall and long bodied. I ordered a slazenger one but it nearly slices me in two!

Can't wear a two piece as have to be physically very close to the pupils at times.

Any recommendations? Ta:)

I think Lands End do a swimsuit for the longer figure.

I used to buy the Longer body suits in M&S etc, but for everyday swimming the Speedo suits work for me - in John Lewis sports dept. They also cover up cleavage etc nicely and have crossover at back.

I've bought ones from M&S and Lands End...

M&S do a couple, online only I think and collect in store or deliver.

Lands End only have 2 in at the moment.

How about Long Tall Sally?

Another vote for Lands End longer fit.

Simply be does 2 lengths

Lands End also do tankinis, which certainly will prevent your being cut in half up the crotch.

I got one in BHS which surprised me but it has been brilliant and my dmum, who also has a long body but is lucky enough to have long shapely legs too, got one in Debenhams and it has been great as well. Hers is a bit more glam, mine is a bit more sporty. They make an enormous difference to the fit of a costume and you may find you have to go down a clothes size too.

I second BHS or there's a zogg one on the John Lewis website which I have.

I'm 5' 10", long bodied and have a M & S long one and BHS long one. Both are really good. Long tall sally were too long for me and came up quite big.
